KEPA worries that after losing favor at Real Madrid, he may be returned to Chelsea this summer.
The goalie on loan received criticism for his performance against Atletico Madrid, a rival team in the city, on Wednesday in the Spanish Super Cup.
In a match played in Saudi Arabia, Real triumphed 5-3, but Kepa was charged with multiple mistakes.
Since early November, he has participated in just one La Liga game for the European titans and is currently known as the “cup” goalie.
Kepa has been replaced by Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin in Carlo Ancelotti’s starting lineup.
Now that his loan is about to expire at the end of the season, Kepa is starting to worry that he might not be able to return permanently to Spain.
When the world’s most expensive goalkeeper unexpectedly signed a temporary contract last summer, just before the Premier League season began, he made it known that he was considering leaving Chelsea permanently.
Despite setbacks from injury, the £72 million star is determined to fight for his spot.
He has been extremely unfortunate, a source told SunSport. He was at his finest when he became hurt. He genuinely wants to stay because he loves Madrid.
“He will not give up.”
Chelsea has Kepa under contract through the end of the following campaign. However, throughout his absence, the club has progressed.
Robert Sanchez of Brighton was quickly signed by manager Mauricio Pochettino before he moved to Madrid.
Additionally, they brought in Djordje Petrovic, a Serbian goalkeeper who impressed when recently filling in for an injured Sanchez.
